The world is stuck in a culture of polarized group think.
Young Voices breaks the mold by creating paths for talented freethinkers to find fresh audiences and launch fulfilling careers.
The Ideological Feedback Loop
Media outlets and content creators need large viewer bases to make a profit. As such, they maximize clicks by producing content that affirms viewers’ preconceived notions rather than educates or challenges. This creates an ideological feedback loop that leads writers and commentators to work as partisans.
How We Break the Loop
Over our 10 years of operations, Young Voices has built relationships with media outlets and think tanks that crave unique perspectives from smart young minds. We find these talented freethinkers fresh out of college and promote them in the media to raise their profile as budding experts, leading to new jobs, promotions, book deals, and more.
Our Talent Ecosystem
Young Voices’ programs are not a one-and-done engagement. After acceptance into our network, our contributors have the opportunity to use our services and engage with our network for years to come. Our community has access to exclusive fellowship, mentorship, and speaking opportunities as well as off-the-record policy briefings and private events. Young Voices' network is built on meaningful connections and long-term engagement.
